Stockton Wheel recently started making these again... Calling them "SLT Muscle Mags"

Pricey, but range of sizes is pretty stellar. Too bad they aren't making any 8-lugs or (many) 6-lugs.

nice... I love those mags...  A/R started making them too, but the sizes were to small. Would love to find an old set.

The SLT ones are the only ones I've seen reproduced that actually look like the originals. They have the correct shape slot and contour within.

Yeah, I've been looking at the SLT Muscle Mags. They look great! I'm most likely going to get a set before the end of the year.

Looks great, fitz! Sorry, but I also look around Mass. too, as well as NH. Off topic, but I once found a wicked nice 60's Impala for sale in Haverhill.

Hey Fitz, are those the old 16.5's? If so, what is the backspacing on them? And did you blast and paint them, they look clean.

Hey Vile, whats the BS on them? I have a chance to pick up a set of original 16.5's for $600 cad, and would like to know the bs because the seller is too lazy to go out and check. Just for that I will prolly offer him $500 cash.

Well it's pitch black out and raining right now and I can't remember what it is off the top of my head so I can't help you right now.

327power. I was only kidding about looking in Mass, keep an eye out, they show up from time to time. Sometimes it's easier/cheaper to buy a parts truck with these already on them.
Chevdalade. The rims on my truck were painted with basecoat/clearcoat about 7 years ago. They paint has a few chips but it's held up very well. I will try to measure the backspacing over the weekend.
